Topic 2 Flashcards
chlorination reason
to kill microorganisms
why is a sample of water potable even though it contains impurities
the impurities are harmless
solid to gas
sublimation
compared to physical changes
chemical changes are hard to reverse
pure
made up of a single compound
you can test for purity by finding the boiling point
if its a substance it wont have one expected value, the mixture will gradually evaporate over a range of temperatures
what can you use to mesure the melting point
metal point apparatus
simple distillation
separating a liquid from a solution
fractional distillation
sepearting many liquids with similar boiling points
diagram
water out, in
simple distillation
the substance with the lowest boiling point will evaporate first, reach the condensing tube and condense as it cools, goes down the tube into the beaker
if boiling points are very similar
multiple rounds of distillation
why are there glass beads in fractional distillation
mobile phase
liquids/ gas can move
imobile phase
solid or very viscous liquid
